I love grilling in the summer. It’s fast and versatile because you can grill an entire meal with minimal cleanup.

I’ve grilled watermelon and bananas before but never tried grilling pineapple until this summer. For a tropical flare, I decided to make a pineapple split ice cream sundae instead of a banana split. I created this Tropical Grilled Pineapple Ice Cream Sundae for Peapod, the online grocery delivery store.

Grilling Pineapple

Grilling pineapple is so easy. Simply brush pineapple spears (I bought a fresh cored whole pineapple and cut it into spears) with melted coconut oil and grill just until you get some grill marks on both sides. Grilling pineapple intensifies the sweetness and pineapple flavor. It’s a fun way to dress up desserts during the summertime.

Grilled Pineapple Split Sundae

My husband is dairy-free so I was pleasantly surprised to see that Peapod sells dairy-free coconut milk ice cream. For a light version, you can also use frozen yogurt.

What takes this sundae over the top is the spiced honey I came up with. It’s honey mixed with ground cinnamon and nutmeg. This intensely flavored honey compliments the grilled pineapple and coconut really nicely. Fresh cherries finish off this fresh twist on a banana split.
